Prices tend to be sticky! Deflation isn’t common these days. When will price stabilize is a more appropriate question.

But costing more and having limited capacity most certainly does slow production!

Are you saying that the trains have the same throughput and cost as the pipeline would have?

The pipeline unquestionably means more production, more co2.

There’s actually a ton of places that rely on those ratings - like insurance companies need at least a certain rating in order to write in certain states.

Sorry to hear you got a bum toilet, luckily for you, there’s the other huge benefit of low flush toilets that I didn’t mention.

Even with a total clog, there’s a 1-2 flush bowl capacity before it over flows.

Who remembers the abject terror of watching the water rise in a clogged high flush toilet and just praying it didn’t overflow.

Also unless every usage is a big poop requiring extra flushes, it’s far fetched that more flushes occasionally are adding up to the same water usage. If the toilet clogs for #1, something is very wrong - likely installed wrong, plumbing issues, or user error. Your toilet might not have been seated right so the wax seal ring is partially blocking the sewer line.

Efficiency related regulation like the energy star is THE reason why companies started caring.

Same with low flush toilets. I vaguely remember the initial ones had issues, but tbh less than the older use a ton of water toilets my family had before that were also super clog prone. Nowadays I can’t even remember the last time a low flush toilet clogged. Massive water saving that took regulation.

Efficiency regulations may not be directly written in blood, instead they are built on costly mountains of unaddressed waste.

At one point Tesla had the opportunity to become THE ev charging monopoly.

That ended when Musk went on one of his earlier whimsical firing sprees and destroyed the charging team. Had he instead beefed it up, charging could become a money printing machine. Even with his sabotage of the charging teams, Tesla charging is better than other but it could have been so much more

“Yes, it’s true 95% of the forests in CA are prone to wildfire and many have recently burnt, but trust me my house in the forest is safe, it isn’t in a forest that has burned yet!!! Would you like to buy my house?”

So nearly every org in our government has been decimated twice over, including many critical ones, under staffed ones, and efficient ones. Is it far fetched that people would now be incredulous about the well being of the few departments not yet decimated twice over?

Deflationary spirals are possible. Why would a consumer buy goods today if they’ll be cheaper tomorrow?

So now instead of appearing in court and face their consequences if guilty, they are motivated to flee and evade even if innocent of the crime they are appearing in court for?

I like how the AI summary has had a 50% rate of directly contradicting itself between the first and last paragraphs in my recent searches.

It’s like an overly confident bullshitter with no shame and the memory of a fruit fly. And I’m sure many people trust it.

For anyone interested, with all keyless entry Subarus in the US it’s easy to put the fob to sleep.

If you’re car camping and doing a lot of stuff around your car and opening the doors a bunch for a couple hours, you probably want to put your fob to sleep. Found out the hard way, but my battery was also a bit iffy to start with that year.

Are you asking why college isn’t a vocational school or technical school? Or are you wondering why the USA doesn’t have apprenticeships in the way Germany and others have?

A college isn’t really meant to be a narrow tracked vocational school - but it’s fair to ask why aren’t their more vocational schools for high tech fieldss

Lost massive amount of revenue so other financial partners on the deal had to write it down substantially- is losing money a successful investment in your book?

Well revenue cratered and that’s usually a critical business metric for financially viable businesses

Reminds me the joke of how to become a millionaire that’s basically start with a billion and invest in xyz terrible idea. That’s basically twitter, a shell of its former revenue and status.

The guy that stands up and gives a 25 hour speech?

Who isn’t even the top house democrat. The opposition party’s actual leaders were going around saying the best strategy was to lay low… feels like some kind of bad joke.

Similar to what Elon did with twitter

Wait who thinks what Elon did with Twitter was a success?

While it hasn’t fully collapsed like some predicted, it seems like a total unmitigated failure in any standard economic or business terms. It’s been a success only in terms of providing a bigger mouthpiece to Elon and those he favors, not a typical metric of corporate success.

In that regards, yes what is happening at the federal government mimics Twitter - making the government worse in terms of any usual metric of government performance but making it better in terms of carrying out arbitrary whims of a leader.

Most people have no idea what a travois is.

The headline could have been evidence of a 22000 year old wheelbarrow like vehicle but I guess that was a mouthful. “Vehicle” is fine.

So why are we Taking claims and justifications from this admin at face value? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”

Doesn’t this have the added benefit of the operator not broadcasting their position? So anti jamming but also anti-pilot getting shelled/counter droned? Or is tracing the drone operators not so common?

also ironic - an article lamenting the way things are so flat and lacking physicality yet it’s jam packed with AI generated art

Well please read things more carefully in the future.

No one sells pills of pure magnesium - that would be eating metal shavings or metal beads.

It is ALWAYS a magnesium ion paired with an anion of some sort. Is that what you mean? Ones with only magnesium salt or oxide - I.e citrate, carbonate etc

Fun fact - Low magnesium can contribute to type II diabetes. It’s been found certain people not responding to improved diet and medication have the A1C drop after starting mg. Of course, if low Mg isn’t a factor then supplementation will do squat.

There’s a fair number of brands selling mg alone and fe alone. Maybe it’s hard outside the US? Or maybe places like target and CVS don’t carry them - those places do have limited options.

Counterpoint they literally already did that and we weren’t less racist in the 60s and 70s. Personally I don’t think Trump would defend Taiwan but I object to such a disregard of history.

There’s a brand of ice cream that has 5 ingredients in their vanilla. Vanilla, cream, milk, sugar, egg. I can eat it no problem. Other vanilla ice creams gives me gas and digestion issues - and the one difference is the other always have some texture modifier.

This article mentions carrageen were found to alter gut bacteria — that reminds of the articles from years back where experience us showed cows fed seaweed reduced their methane emissions in their farts, which are a chunk of cattle’s global warming contribution.

Well it matches how corporations already operate, they brag about being in compliance with regulations, fda or any other, as if it’s something to be proud of. No, just barely satisfying the minimum quality standards is not something to aspire to.

Democrats?

Jeffries, the top democrat in the house, is too busy with promoting his book and anyway has decided it’s all in gods hands now. He had one stop in Oakland on Feb 20, and is scheduled again on March 7.

Gee whiz good thing there’s nothing else pressing going on to get in the way of his book tour stops! /s

it’s easy to be a trillionaire with four years of bad inflation when you start with 50B.

Pointing out Tesla and spacex is fine but kinda glossing over some important details about this companies - he routinely over promised on products and delivers years late if at all. Definitely worse with Tesla than spacex. And he destroyed twitter, his latest venture. He’s quite obviously not the same person he was a decade ago.

So he took credit for improvements others worked on and they also weren’t as good as purported?

(Assuming that is a reference to the Mussolini quote.)
